I need you to drink a bunch of coffee on and empty stomach and get really into the idea of gardening okay. I need you to love it. Spend hours scrolling pinterest looking at beautiful gardens. Keep scrolling. Internalize their shapes, ponder their -yeah keep drinking coffee. No it's important that you not eat for this- anyway, need you to conceptualize the idea of gardening as virtuous. Yeah. Yeah I made a breakfast sandwich, you don't need to worry about that right now. You want to garden now right? You want to buy a bunch of seeds and dirt and shit, maybe some cute overalls to wear while you garden? Perfect. Buy all that shit. Yeah- yeah right now. Buy all that shit on Amazon right now I'll wait.

Okay good. Now go outside and try to garden. I need you to become rapidly disillusioned with it. Like you just don't find it enjoyable at all. The sun is too hot, or it's too cold, It takes consistency you don't really have time for, you're hungry, you don't have time to shower and make it to work, you --yeah I know gardening is hard and it's hard to do it. That needs to be your main takeaway! A sense of a nonspecific wound-- oh shit sorry, yeah I'll cover my mouth when I cough where are the fucking napkins.

Like, there's tension between the image and the praxis right? Like you just don't fuck with it that much. Yeah the sandwich is fried spam, an egg, slice of pepper jack, some pickle remoulade. Yeah the Ukrainian bakery around the corner sells ciabatta fresh every day its- actually it's not important. I need you to feel really bad that you don't like gardening, and I need you to cope with this feeling by valorizing the idea of gardening even more. Like now you see yourself as an unworthy knight who failed to live up to the expectations of your pure and righteous lady. Yeah. The modern world is an evil place preventing you from self-actualization through gardening. Don't worry about how. It is, isn't it? Like that's true, right? Yeah --okay yeah more coffee-- just like, if anyone asks you why you don't garden very much, *that's* when you get intellectual about it. Practice coming up with reasons why it's hard to garden. That shouldn't be too difficult. The clothes you bought are really cute aren't they? You should like, wear them and take selfies in them. People will love it. They'll love you.

im obsessed with the world of donkey kong, where the "barrel" is an abstracted, functionless object that seems to just manifest in the wild

The funniest thing you can add to any piece of media is a boy detective. Breaking Bad needed a 13 year old child who goes around looking for clues to the caper and whatnot.

it's crass to end a post with a period because the romantic project of self-fashioning is incomplete; it's what makes the fragment the mode of romantic communication

the usa is absolutely on its way to a fully fascist state & whenever anyone says that, there's always a comment that says "america has always been fascist." imo you're willfully downplaying an authoritarian takeover in order to sound edgy. all it does is derail the conversation & diminish the significance of what's been happening over the last 8 months. nothing will distract from a useful conversation about resistance more than changing it to be about the last 250 years instead. it's insidious and honestly straight out of a handbook on how to disrupt organizing

Don't you know that the point of leftist politics is to show that you're the specialest, radicalest little boy ever to post sentences on the Internet?

a fun thing that happens during this process is you'll have these private companies hire the ejected government employees who are experts in their respective field. the private company will then contract with the government to replace the lost function or service

so you have the exact same people doing the exact same labor but now you have a CEO/board of directors and a shit ton of other overhead costs in addition to the base cost of labor. This means the amount of services per tax payer dollar falls drastically. All in the name of "efficiency" and "lowering costs"

Most Baffling shirt I have ever found

Found this gem at value village in Toronto, naturally had to buy it. Cursed knowledge of homestuck doesn’t make it any less confusing.

jumping off of that danluu article about web latency -- this "100ms is basically instantaneous" attitude is in my experience fairly common among [garden variety webshit] programmers and also drives me totally insane because like, my background is in robotics. there's this iron mathematics of response time that if your robot is driving around at 2m/s (which is a brisk walk for a human) and someone steps around a corner a meter ahead (this is a pretty generous minimum distance, but maybe you have some logic for slowing down near blind corners) then you have 500ms to perceive them and process that information and figure out what to do with it and decelerate to a stop. of course this also depends on your maximum deceleration -- if it's, say, 5m/s^2, then just stopping will take you 400ms, so you'd better damn well have decided to do it within 100ms. i live my life in a world where something taking 60ms is a showstopping problem and if i get perception data from more than like 30ms ago it's functionally no longer useful. imagine taking 100 whole milliseconds just to show the user some text. imagine having that kind of time.
